For someone who is not tech savvy having the ability to quickly jump on a call and navigate the site with a Phorest employee has been very helpful. ----- ### "Great overall salon software" — 4.0/5 > **Andrea** | *12 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the customer service and the fact that I can get in touch with someone and they get back to me right away if they don’t know something. > > **Cons**: The price is higher than all other platforms similar, I feel like if I have two locations we should be able to split sms msgs between both locations, I’m paying for them already and if I don’t use all in one location I should have ability to use at other location. > > Great\! I like that it’s seamless and the reports are great. It’s very easy to use and customizable. Love\! ----- ### "Highly recommend Phorest" — 5.0/5 > **Morada** | *12 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: the POS integration with the system. Phorest Tips has been a game changer for the business and Stylists. > > **Cons**: sometimes reports are hard to find, as there are so many. It would be nice to filter specific reports without all of the other data. > > it has streamlined my ability to run and keep track of reports for stylists and the business. Phorest Tips is also an incredible tool as well ----- ### "Has a lot of potential" — 3.0/5 > **Angela** | *11 February 2026* | Cosmetics | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of booking online. Dedicated support is nice. Built In marketing. Inventory systems are easy to use > > **Cons**: Features are bugged and take forever to get fixed. Feature will be launched with known issues with no timeline of resolution. > > Overall fair, has improved over the last year, but I’m getting frustrated with the lack of bug fixes for waitlist and package updates. ----- ### "Excellent Product" — 5.0/5 > **Christina** | *12 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of use, keeping track of clients history, notes, the chat feature in the desktop version, and the quick response from support if I need help with anything. I also like if I add products to my clients tab then exit out of it - it will remember the product. > > **Cons**: The price point could be more competitive comparably to other brands. When there are bugs in the system sometimes takes awhile to get it fixed. My client do sometimes get confused by the dates on the reminders - it would be nice if it was changed to Jan/Feb/March instead of numbers as I book appointments 6 months in advance so sometimes the dates get mixed up. > > It's a good product, that makes my job a lot easier. I love the text reminder features as they are very helpful for ensuring my clients arrive when they're scheduled. ----- Page: 1 / 19\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/113530/phorest-salon-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/113530/phorest-salon-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
